The solution is very stable. There are no bugs or glitches. It does not crash or freeze. Its performance is reliable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The solution is very scalable. It's easy to expand if you need to. A company would have no trouble scaling to meet its needs.

We have about 100 people who are currently using it.

How are customer service and support?

I haven't used technical support. I can't speak to how helpful or responsive they are, having never dealt with them directly.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is very simple and straightforward. It's not overly complex or difficult. A company shouldn't have any issue with the initial setup.

That said, I was not a part of the initial setup, and can't speak to how long the deployment actually took.

What about the implementation team?

We used an integrator that helped us with the implementation. We were satisfied with the process and how everything ultimately turned out.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The pricing could be better. It's a bit expensive.

What other advice do I have?

We are using the latest version of the solution. I'm not sure of the exact version number.

I'd rate the solution at a ten out of ten. We've been very happy with the product and its capabilities. I'd happily recommend it to other users and organizations.

User friendly, very easy, and very stable
Pros and Cons
  • "It is user friendly and very easy."
  • "They have a lot of updates, and most of these updates don't have a major feature. We do an update, and we usually don't see any new features from the end-user perspective, which is quite unlike phone updates, where after the update, we usually see something really new. We should be required to update Windows 10 only for major changes. The updates also take a lot of time. When the updates are going on, the PC becomes a bit slow."
